‘Flimsier than the original’: Is the new Ronan Farrow-Kavanaugh story already FALLING APART?

We’re starting to see some reaction from conservatives on the new piece from Ronan Farrow accusing SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh of exposing his penis to a woman at a college frat party and “caused her to touch it without her consent.”

Matt Walsh calls the allegations “flimsier than the original”:

Dear Lord. This is insane. She says she was wasted, she was playing a drinking game, she doesn't remember much about that night, and she wasn't even sure until this week whether Brett Kavanaugh was involved. Three other people alleged to be involved denied it. https://t.co/0YS7Ga84kP

Let me summarize the "bombshell" from the New Yorker. A woman named Debbie Ramirez is now pretty sure — but she wasn't all that sure until this week — that Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself as a joke while they were both wasted and playing a drinking game at college.

The others alleged to have been at the party deny it. Her friend from college says she never mentioned it happening. Debbie herself was hesitant to say whether Kavanaugh was even involved at all in her initial conversations with the New Yorker.

But after "assessing her memories" and talking to her lawyers, she has now decided that Brett Kavanaugh is the one who showed off his private parts 35 years ago while she and everyone else was drunk. Okay then.

"One of the male classmates who Ramirez said egged on Kavanaugh denied any memory of the party. 'I don’t think Brett would flash himself to Debbie, or anyone, for that matter,' he said." https://t.co/GH9Ph1nwrA

"In a statement, two of those male classmates who Ramirez alleged were involved the incident, the wife of a third male student she said was involved, and three other classmates, Dino Ewing, Louisa Garry and Dan Murphy, disputed Ramirez’s account of events" https://t.co/GH9Ph1nwrA

Update 1. From Gabriel Malor: “This isn’t about #MeToo, this is about keeping Kavanaugh off the court.”

I want some more time to think over the New Yorker piece, but these two paragraphs together, really underscore the political nature of this claim. This isn't about #MeToo, this is about keeping Kavanaugh off the court. pic.twitter.com/oEi2e44ocT
